London, Michael Joseph, 1956
A fine, inscribed first edition of the first published book by science fiction author Arthur Sellings, an English scientist, book & art dealer by day. The striking dust-jacket artwork is by Richard Barton, who was also commissioned for Michael Joseph stable-mates Dick Francis and John Wyndham.
First edition, first impression, signed presentation copy from the author; 8vo; light foxing to endpapers; publisher's boards very lightly mottled, dust-jacket by Richard Barton, slightly rubbed at head of spine but overall a fine example.
